Due to a lot of different things including my back going our last friday I cant finish the grill resto in time for the show this sunday. I could rush it as my back is better but the quality of the finished job would suffer. My back is getting better so I will be able to take the car to the show, just without the finished grill installed. :-( After numerous hours of masking I finally was able to paint the silver yesterday. Today I cleaned up a small amount of over spray and started to paint the individual grill ribs by hand with a brush today. This also will be a long tedious job, 3-4 day's a few hours each day a most. I have an appointment at my friend shop to clean and detail the car early tomorrow morning. Late in the day and till saturday night it is going to rain. So once the car is cleaned tomorrow it will be in the garage till sunday morning for the show when the weather is supposed to be nice. In the mean time I will still be plugging along on hand painting the ribs on the grill so by the middle of next week it can be clear coated and installed by the end of next week. The next project on this car should be easy as I am just restoring the double black factory pin stripe on both sides of the body. A little 3M Blue Fine Line masking tape and some prep work and some One Shot sign painters paint an it will look factory new again. Then to cutting the dark smoke tint letters by hand for the windshield tint job. :-( "Doc" _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
